Abstract

A superconducting circuit device of a voltage-type logic device is large in current driving capability and, accordingly, electric power consumption; however, the switching speed is not so fast, and a superconducting circuit device of a fluxoid-type logic device is small in current driving capability and, accordingly, the electric power consumption; however the switching speed is faster than that of the superconducting circuit device of the voltage-type logic device, wherein the superconducting circuit device of the voltage-type logic device and the superconducting circuit device of the fluxoid-type logic device are selectively used in a superconducting circuit such as a superconducting random access memory, a superconducting NOR circuit and a superconducting signal converting circuit so as to realize small electric power consumption and high-speed switching action.
